﻿

Fabric Journals, collages, cards, purses etc. are just a fewof the projects I create. As an introduction to my world I'd thoughtI'd share some images of my creations so that youmight gain some insight into why I collect andcreate with what I use.

giving you the idea of how I use the materials I collect.

Some fabric journal and lacebook

(one which I will share the pages very soon)

and

Oh Suzy I have just read your post and looked at each and every image and soaked it all in. I really do not know where to begin, your studio looks such an inspirational place to create your wonderful work. It is so organised and must be lovely to have all your treasures to hand when you create. I love all of your work, and each and every piece is unique. The lace - well, I am in lace heaven, I absolutely love looking at other people's collections of lace and yours is extra special. you have inspired me to sort my storage room out, I do not have a studio but keep all of my lace, fabrics, etc in our little box room. I need to get everything out and paint the room then organise. you have given me some great storage ideas. You have a fantastic view out into your garden. Thanks for sharing your studio, I really enjoyed it. Jaynex

Creating for me is essential! It feeds my heart and soul. It is a large part of who I am.
I have a passion for vintage fabrics, silks, velvets, laces and embellishments inc. jewellery which I incorporate into my collages for journals etc.
My love also of antiques, time worn treasures - all things tarnished, tattered and pre-loved goes hand in hand with my creativity but above all I try to live a simple self-sufficient rural life style with my husband inspired by the natural beauty that surrounds us here.
